Rest

Goes well with rest.nvim

Example:

locals {
  url = "http://localhost:8080"
  name = "world"
}

// test
request "hell_yeah" {
  url = "${locals.url}/get"
  method = "GET"
  headers = [
    "X-TEST: you:😄",
  ]
}

request "httpbin post" {
  method = "POST"
  url = "https://httpbin.org/post"
  headers = [ "Content-Type: application/json" ]

  body = {
    hello: "${locals.name}"
  }
  # has lua interpreter to post process check docs for more
  post_hook = <<LUA
      local body = json.decode(rest.res.body)
      local ret = json.decode(body.data) -- what_we_sent_to_httpbin
      print(inspect(ret)) -- { hello = "world" }
      return ret.hello -- cli prints -> world
  LUA
}

	Export full client instead of individual requests
    --verbose, -v:

TODO

• request.copy_from = "label"
• decode locals in blocks so they can be used as they are parsed
• proxy requests to add headers or basic auth
